Through vivid anecdotes, Beebe showcases the excesses of the era, highlighting humorous and outrageous spending habits, such as Bennett's whimsical restaurant purchase and Penrose's self-imposed spending limit. This engaging exploration of opulence reflects both Beebe's enjoyment and the readers' fascination with the era's excesses.
